Got Back on Trackhttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3158180
Yesterday morning I went back to a W/W meeting - as a lifetime member I only have to weigh in 1x per month - I am way over, and I knew it. I am determined to get this weight off - I cannot stand what I look & feel like. I will be going to the meetings weekly - I can sit in on them w/o weighing in... <BR>
<BR>
I absolutely refuse to buy new clothes, so my goal is to be down by 5% by the next weigh in and 10% 2 months later. Final goal to be at my goal weight by the September weigh in - m...Sun, 25 Apr 2010 10:33:42 ESTI'm committedhttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1835210
to be at Curves 3x per week. Unfotunately this week I only made it 2x - but on Wed I got on the Treadmill in the fitness room and did 20 minutes - better than nothing. Today I made it to Curves and did the complete Circuit - 30 minutes. <BR>
<BR>
Felt good to be up and going.Fri, 27 Feb 2009 13:52:15 ESTFriday - 2/2009http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1815057
Ok, been to Curves 3 times this week. It is getting harder to get up at 6:15am the mornings that I want to get ther. Yes, it feels good once I am finished, but I am getting tired about 1/2 way throu the circuit. I think I need to get to bed earlier so that getting up will not be hard and I will be more rested. <BR>
<BR>
Need to really work on getting more sleep and being more organized and productive. Ok, that's another goal to set.Fri, 20 Feb 2009 11:42:16 ESTFri. 2/13/09http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1796656
Well I made it to Curves again today - a little later than usual, about 6:45 am. I was tired this morning and really didn't want to get out of bed, but I pushed and did it. <BR>
<BR>
I am staying home this evening instead of going to services and going to get to bed early so that I can get up, take care of my chores before the District meeting at 10am.... <BR>

Made it to Curves again today, this was the 5th time I as there, the machines are getting easier to use. It also feel great to be up and out early, gives me so much time in the morning. <BR>
<BR>
I cannot wait to get measured and see how I have changed. I know that the scale has not changed, but that has to do with eating heavy Italian food on Saturday evening. It is so hard to stay OP when family and friends want to go out to dinner. I guess it's my lack of control that gets in the way,...Mon, 9 Feb 2009 11:55:06 ESTFebruary 5, 2009http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1772427
Got up late, guess getting up at 6am and getting to bed nearly midnight on Wednesday caused this, needed sleep. Need to change the routine - at least the getting to bed part. I like getting up early, it gives me a head start on the day. <BR>
<BR>
Just finished SP BootCamp video for day 3 and feel good. Working these in addition to the exercise program at Curves is helping, I noticed the scale is slowly moving "south" that's ok, as long as it keeps going in that direction, all I want is ...Thu, 5 Feb 2009 11:08:11 ESTFebruary 4, 2009http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1769351
Getting up at 6-6:15am is really feeling good, as getting to Curves is also. Igot some other things done early this morning, now it back to business and then taking a break to do SP video #3. I am beginning to feel energized and that is great.Wed, 4 Feb 2009 11:22:23 ESTFebruary 3, 2009http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1765523
Ok, looks like I'm on a roll, Today I did the day #2 SP BootCamp Exercise Video. I am going to measure myself today, probably will not be too hapy w/what I find out, but I need to do it so I can follow my results of the SP exercises, Curves and the treadmill in the fitness room.. <BR>
<BR>
Off to get my day started.Tue, 3 Feb 2009 09:40:27 ESTFebruary 2, 2009http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1761806
Ok, I'm back, January did not complete the entire SP BootCamp, was away and then got busy. Since my health plan has Silver Sneakers and they added Curves to the plan. I went there. I've been there 2x and plan on being there at least 3x per week. I am also doing the BootCamp and making sure I do it daily, today was day #1. I am also planning to either get into the fitness room on the treadmill or go for a walk early in the mornings the days I am not going to Curves. I am determined to los...Mon, 2 Feb 2009 09:16:21 ESTGetting there!!! 1/21/09http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1723232
These exercises on the stability ball are not easy for me, but I am doing them - at least to the extent I can, each time it gets a little easier so I am able to go a little further and do most of the exercies. I am determined to get thru each group fully and get more flexible. <BR>
<BR>
The ball seems to deflate slightly as I use it. I need to find a decent pump to keep it fully inflated then it should be easier to do the exercises I won't feel like I am falling off the ball. I am going t...Wed, 21 Jan 2009 08:22:39 ESTJanuary 8th, 2009http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1675037
Made it to the fitness room and did 40 minutes on the treadmill, not too terrible. Feel great. <BR>
<BR>
Healthy dinner this evening, 3 oz salmon, salad, green beans and brown rice. Evening snack will be yogurt and fruit. <BR>
<BR>
Planning on reading and planning this evening.Thu, 8 Jan 2009 18:08:38 ESTTuesday - Jan 6, 2009http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1664204
Day 3 of Coach Nicole's BookCamp program. Well, my stability balls needs to be made firmer - yep it is low on air - now I need to buy a pump to fix it. I did the best I could under the circumstances. <BR>
<BR>
Will be in the fitness room to do 30 minutes on the treadmill again this afternoon and also the bonus wall push ups while I am there. <BR>
<BR>
Feels good, just widh the scale will go south. HahahaTue, 6 Jan 2009 14:53:04 ESTJan. 5th 2009http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1659023
This morning I did Day #2 of Coach Nicole's Boot Camp. it was a little difficult for me, so I did what I could as my own pace. I will keep working at this, it can only be beneficial. <BR>
<BR>
Now I am going into my fitness room to get on the treadmill for 30 minutes.Mon, 5 Jan 2009 16:28:14 ESTJanuary 4th, 2009 - 1st Day of Coach Nicole's Challengehttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1651838
I did the 10 Minute Video of Coach NIcole's it was a little tough to follow as I am not in great shape and the moves are very new to me. I did get thru it as best as I can. I am going to review it and work at getting the steps down. <BR>
<BR>
I plan on following this every day, that means that I will need to be up earlier each mornig, as I would also like to do a 30 minute walk as well, <BR>
<BR>
Getting to bed earlier is the key. I wil do it - I want to be at least in the 140's by the...Sun, 4 Jan 2009 11:15:32 ESTKeeping at ithttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=332203
